How to Help

Here is a recent post from our Chico Chapter, which has been affected by the Camp Fire:

“We now have two NCL families that have lost their homes and all belongings: Class of 2020 and Class of 2023. There has been an outpouring of support in the form of goods and clothing donated. While we are incredibly grateful, our community is no longer accepting used clothing items. The best way to help is through gift cards and cash donations.

Thanks for reaching out and offering to help. This is a surreal time for our community. Blessings and thanks to all of you. Stay safe.”

Here is a post from one of our NCL, Inc. Leaders in Southern California, whose area has been affected by multiple disasters in the past year:

“Our district has been hit hard this past year between the Thomas Fire, the Montecito mudslides and now the Woolsey and Hill Fires, not to mention the Borderline shooting. Thankfully none of our NCL members lost a loved one at Borderline, but many members have friends that did. Through it all our NCL family has been there to help pick up the pieces. It is one of the reasons I love this organization so much. We are all there for each other, no matter where we live.

The winds made it very difficult for the firefighters to battle this fire. I was one of the first to be evacuated and thankfully my house and neighborhood survived. Embers from this fire traveled up to one mile which started new fires. Because we have three chapters within fifteen miles of each other, we have a total of five members (active and sustainers) who lost their homes.

If you would like to help other families in our community who lost their home in the fire or lost a loved one at Borderline, you can donate at Ventura County Community Foundation at https://vccf.org/.”
